The Department of Mathematics at Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) invites applications for several Visiting Assistant Professor (VAP) positions in all areas of pure and applied mathematics. Candidates should have a strong record and promise in research together with a commitment to excellence in teaching.

Qualified candidates may be also eligible for the Shenzhen municipal Peacock Talent Program which carries a substantial bonus.

To apply, please send curriculum vitae, description of research interests, and statement on teaching to mathjobs.org and notify mathhire@sustech.edu.cn. Candidates should also arrange for at least three letters of recommendation sent directly to mathjobs.org. Applications will be considered continuously until all positions are filled. The starting date can be negotiated.
